in his letter he gave the laborers some good counsel, as follows: The manufacturers and employers oflabor in our land are not to-day, as class, the tyrannical and unjust oppres- sors they are sometimes called, and as I once myself considered them when I began to study the labor problem. The workingman has, believe, many and many just and real grievance, but not often, at present am well convinced, those which can be healed by strikes against employers. With excep- tions, and exceptions, I freely grant, only too numerous, the manufacturers and em- ployers of our land are, believe, as class already doing all or nearly all they can for their employees under the present system It is the system we need to change, not the men who are applying an unscienti6c system as justly, and, on the whole, as generously as they know how.
 According to the latest estimates, says the St. James Gazette, the land on the surface of the globe has an area of about 53, ,000, 900 square miles and supports a population of 1,400, 100000. It is startling to reflect that there is a reasonable probability that before -A~AS OA0LoCA third of the worlds superfcies and consider ably more than one-quarter of the worlds population will be ruled by the direct de- scendants of the royal couple who are now entertaining family party at Copenhagen. King Christian of Denmark is at present sov- ereign of about 90, 900 square miles of terri tory and more than 2, 1000, 900 people; his eld- est daughters mother-in-law, Queen Victoria, has an empire of nearly $500, ,000 square miles with about 305, 100000 inhabitants; his son in-law, the Czar, is lord of some 5000, 900 square miles of territory and about 109, 900, 900 people, and his son, the King of the Hellenes, rules dominions extending to about 25,000 square miles with 2,O00, ,0OO inhabitants It is we'll within the bounds of possibility that in the future, while King Albert Victor reigns over Great Britain, Nicholas will be Czar of Russia, Frederick will be King of Denmark and Constantine will be King of the Hellenes, for princes bearing these names and all grandchildren of King Christian TX. will some day, in the or- dinary course of events, succeed directly or indirectly to the sovereigns who now occupy the thrones of the four monarchies in ques- ton.

Something for Yale Scholars


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The Voice is instructing the public, by the pen of Dr. Samson, in the ancient history of prohibition. It informs us that ''prohibitory law ruled Rome for five hundred years in the time of her republic" No Latin sen tenee is given in support of his statement. Professor Fisher, whose Outlines of Uni versal History show him to be ignorant on this point, must seach the Yale library, and Professor Peck must read Latin authors more extensively, in order to learn what Dr. Sam son knows. We are told that Pliny author izes the statement; but alas, we know not where. Those photographers, Professors Van Name and Dexter, will, we fear, be un- able to direct us to the historic proof. Dr. Samson would have us understand that ev- cry Roman nobleman who in those five hundred years drank wine for refreshment or social cheer violated the law of his coun- try; and the Voice expects us to be stirred to greater prohibition zeal by this example teaching of history. Let us now have at least one sentence of an ancient Latin author, to be printed in the COURIER, which will support the utterances of the Voice. What book searcher at the university will find such 8 sentence? $. c. B.

THE TENNESSEE CONTEST.

The campaign which came to an end yester- day in Tennessee was perhaps the most nota- ble one in the history of the State Both the prohibitionists and the prohi5itionists made strong fight. The State Temperance alliance appointed chairmen of committees in every county. White and colored clubs were formed everywhere. The Woman's Christian Temperance union promptly came to the aid of the prohibitionists, and branch es were instituted in many places, while the membership of the leading unions experienced gratifying increase Funds were raised and speakers were sent out to present the subject to the masses. Men and women took the stu mp Many ministers have taken part in the campaign, and most of them have been outspoken for prohibition.
 The liquor dealers and those interested with them have made things lively. One of their efforts was an impressive address show ing why the amendment should not be adopt ed. The document contained statistics of the revenue derived from the liquor traffic by the State, counties and cities, and showed that the loss of revenue resulting from the suspension of the traffic would have to be made up by i creased taxation to meet ur- gent demands upon the treasury of the State. It referred at length to crime in Ten nessee and denied that the traffic was respon- sible for the preponderance of crime and cost of prosecutions to the State. It said that the State received each year from liquor licenses the sum of $221, ,745. 34; the counties get $253 838 22, and the cities and towns $123,- 987 75, making the total sum of annual rev enues collected in Tennessee on liquor licenses $599, ,571 31 The address contended that the State would incur risk of $5, 600 ,000 on the question of compensation, and that the annual loss of rentals by the vacation of property now occupied by liquor men would amount to $75O, 1000. And an inquiry made of State Treasurer Thomas brought forth the following: Should this source of revenue from the liquor traffic be cut off it is more than probable that the State officials will not be able to effect a loan or loans to meet the interest; consequently, on the 1st of January next the State will have to default in the payment of the interest on her bonded debt. This will cause the Governor to call the legislature in extra session, at an expense of $3O, ,O00, and when it convenes it will be forced to lay an additional tax of 10 or 15 cents.
 At this time the fate of the amendment is not clear But it is evident that there has been remarkable growth of sentiment in Tennessee in favor of prohibition during the last three years.

Cupid and the Mutineers.

Mary J. Stafford in the october Se. NlchoiasJ
 "Jump, Cupid, jump!" cried a mans harsh voice. "Higher, flou, higher, say! See how Pistache and Monsieur are pirouet- ting yonder, and Mimi is whirling around like top. Bah, stupid one, thou Tt not worth thy saltl Thou It never make dan- cer. An, thou dance Another bad step' Sacr r r-rel' he exclaimed, rolling the with the burr that only Frenchman's tongue can give.
 It was 8 bright summer morning, nearly three-quaIters of century ago. The ani- nal our showman so wrathfully berated was pretty white French poodle. It was dan cing wearily to the sound of fiddle upon platform covered with spangled red velvet: which had been erected in the main street ot the gay French seaport of Bordeaux. His companions, five or six other dogs srrayed in costumes of brilliant hues, kept time alertly to the shrill notes squeaked by their mas ter's old violin; but poor Cupid, with droop- ing head, and tail tucked forlornly between his legs, looked the very image of shame, and constantly sidled toward the edge of the improvised stage, as if seeking an opportu- nity to escape. But the Frenchmans keen eye never left the dog, and his angry shouts and orders kept up monotonous accompan- iment to the ear-splitting music.

 The feeling of the dominant class in the South on the subject of co-education of the races is thus expressed by the Savannah News: To allow it would be the beginning of the end of our civilization. There is a firm determination on the part of our people that such beginning shall not be made, and the only question is as to the best means to be employed to that end.
 Ohio and Kansas have 8 color line, as well as the southern States, and it now appears that the old Bay State has one. A highly respectable colored man of Boston, who served in the Union army during the war, applied for admission to Thomas G. Steven son post of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was rejected solely on account of his color. This will furnish text for 8 good many articles in southern newspapers.
 The Pennsylvania liquor dealers have planned to be aggressive in this falls cam paign. A league of distillers, wholesale li- ouor dealers and bottlers have been formed in the western part of the State to fight the $50, and each member agrees, moreover, to pay into the treasury one thousandth part of the amount of his sales. Leading lawyers have been retained and an attempt will be made to ruin the trade of such dealers re- fuse to come in. Such league as this may not help it's members as much as they think it will.
 A Calcutta paper calls attention to a re- marksble decline in the popularity of the great Roth Jattra or Car festival at the Jug gernaut temple in Orissa. That the number l of visitors this year should show a marked ! decrease might have been expected owing to the recent loss of two pilgrim steamers and to the common belief that the loss of the third had been predicted. It appears, how ever, that although the falling off is more marked this year it has been going on steadi- ly for some years past. The religious enthu- siasm of the crowd is said to be also disap- bearing. There is no longer @ wild rush for
 the car in which the idol is dragged from the
 temple to a country house and back again, and on several occasions it has been neces-
 sary to hire coolies to perform the work.

THoUeHTLEss CRUELTY.
Parents who Neglect to Properly Care TO
Their Children.


PARENTS who Neglect to Properly Care for
Their Children.
Comparatively few parents nowadays
would send their children out without
merino underwear or rubbers. as was
common some years ago. Few would
say it was foOlishness or extravaganza
to protect the extremltIes, or advocate
hardening their little ones by
insufficient clothing. Fewer still, prob
ably, would insist on children getting
mp before they had their sleep out, or
eating fat meat or scraps which the
( parents were too dainty to eat. But
here is species of cruelty which
ear has not entirely died out. / refer
o overheated living rooms and cold
sleeping rooms. Parents have stove
put up in their own chamber as early
is November, but stove in child's
room is, to many, a preposterous idea.
How do children take it? Not half
enough credit has been given to the
martyr spirit. "Oh, we can't expect to
be warm; we're nothing but children.
It would cost money to have fire in our
rooms. We ought to try and save
money, for we're nothing but trouble
and expense, anyhow"
The sitting-room, kitchen, dining
room and school-room are sitting hot.
The little frames are forced to accom-
modate themselves to the unnatural
atmosphere by day, but at night the
very entrance into their sleeping apart
nents, often many degrees colder than
the outside air, is enough to strike a
chill to the stoutest heart. Then think
Of undressing and washing in such
medium! Is it any wonder that in
winter SO many children dread to 90
to bed, or, once in bed, to get up? If
parents can not afford to heat their
ehildren's rooms they should show their
practical sympathy by going without
heat themselves.
But, after all, stoves cost less than
collins any day. Coal is not so ex-
oensive as medicine. You buy hand
some wrap for Jennie, to be worn
'ew times, and think nothing of it. The
Did wrap would be just as comfortable,
md the cost of the new one would keep
ler warm all the time.
Have a uniform heat through all the
living rooms. Put plenty of warm
'lothing upon your children's bodies
Dy day and soft wooden blankets
pom their beds at night. Keep their
bodies warm externally, and they will
lot need to breathe such hot air
It any time. Have growing plants all
trough the house. 1t is now known
